BIG PROFITS IN STOCK BREEDING.
A Business in Which Fortunes May Be Made
from Comparatively Small Investments.

Among the guests at the Bates House yester-
day was J. c. Zimmerman, Of Nav York. He
came to Indiana after high-bred stock, and while
here did not find the horse he wanted, he thinks
the breeding farmers OF this State have all the
conditions favorable to success equal to that OF
other States. He has New Jersey farm on
which he breeds fancy stock as q side issue
to his other business It is profitable, too,
he says, as he and Others who have more money
to invest in that way have discovered. It is a
business of large returns on the investment, be-
sides furnishing means OF release from other
cares. A breeder who has farm adjoining his
three years ago ponght s12 900 worth of stock and
in three years had net gain of So, 900. An
other neighbor bought what was considered an
ordinary fancy horse for $1.S75, and in ten
months sold him for So. 00O The breeding
farms of Indiana, he says, well stocked
with horses that command high prices, and the
States good soil. operate climate and succu-
lent grasses ought to lead to q large improve
ment in the business.

PREPARING FOR THE STATE FAIR.
The Executive Committee Reviews the Pre-
liminary Work, Which Is Satisfactory.

The executive committee of the State Board
of Agriculture was in session all day yesterday,
making final preparations for the Indiana State
fair, which begins Sept. 49, The work was
nearly all routine. and consisted principally of
appointing committees to take charge of the
different branches of the fair. Secretary Heron
submitted report OF all the work he had done
since the March meeting. Among other things
he reported improvements made on the grounds
at cost of So, 900. He also reported the pay
ment of S., 900 OF the newly purchased grounds,
besides the payment of the interest on the
boards bonded indebtedness. He was enabled
of last year. Three new buildings for exhibition
purposes are being constructed, and the erection
of new horticultural hall is contemplated.
The committee was ovsrrun with applications
from proprietors of special exhibitions" who
wanted an engagement, but the committee de-
cided to ignore all of them. One two of the
committee favored balloon ascension but the
remainder regarded it unnecessary ex-
pense The racing came up for discussion, and
the opinion prevailed that better attractions in
that line should be secured, if possible. Secre-
tary Heron reported that it was the custom OF
horsemen to withhold their entries until a day
or two before the fair began. and the board was
therefore unable to gain patronage by advertis

A CHILLING WAVE FROM THE WEST.
The Temperature Suddenly Drops to Low in
the Sixties-Cause of the Change.

The sudden drop in the temperature yesterday
led to some talk about the effects of hail storms
within this region. but the Signal Office has no
record of them, nor of any significant fall of rain
except in the far West This side of the Rocky
mountains the heaviest fall noted was at Dodge
City, yesterday afternoon, where it measured
forty four hundredths Of an inch. The cool wave
is supposed to be due to a storm that prevailed
in the extreme Southwest and west of she
Rockies. It may be there yet, for last night
there were no indications of its moving east or
northeast There was an influence from the
northwest that held it in check, although it's
effects were observable in a lowering Of temper
allure in the northern Territories, Wisconsin
and as far south as the Indian Territory
There were only two points In the country
where the thermometer marked 90 degrees
They were New Orleans and Shreveport It is
expected that warm weather will be crowded
out of those places to-day. In this city at 2
o'clock in the afternoon the thermometer was at
70o and falling By o'clock it marked 61O,
which also the reading at o'clock last
night. It will probably drop to $50 before the
wave gives place to warmer currents. The cool
weather is likely to continue to-day and to-mor-
row. The lowest readings of yesterday were at
La Crosse. Dodge City and Santa Fe, whore it
marked So degrees.
